About Legacy in Port Allen

Our quiet Port Allen facility­­­ is home to a bird aviary where the birds were hand chosen to provide comfort and joy to our residents who suffer with mental health issues. Legacy of Port Allen specializes in providing activities and services to our predominately psychiatric population. The staff of Legacy in Port Allen take pride in loving our residents as our own family learning their specific histories, behaviors, and current preferences.

Mental health matters - our mental health professionals visit monthly to assure our residents enjoy the best possible health, and the entire parameters of the facility are secured for the protection of our residents. We also encourage our residents who benefit from it to participate in outpatient day programs where they see extra mental and behavioral health professionals, visit with others in the community, and participate in therapeutic activities. The happy times don't stop there though - we also hold regular mass, rosary, bingo, pretty nails, several socials for holidays or special occasions, ice cream truck, and even monthly birthday parties!

Meals are special too!  While we are required to offer alternative meal choices for every meal, we don't stop there and typically have extra alternatives such as fresh salads or soup and sandwich choices. We also provide residents specialized diets to complement our intensive physical therapy programs. Legacy of Port Allen also has Speech and Occupational Therapy programs as well. 

Join our Legacy of Port Allen family where you will feel welcome and right at home!

Our residents enjoy an annual crawfish boil during Nursing Home Week, a fish fry for Easter, and we really enjoy celebrating the holidays!  We throw an annual Halloween Party with a Costume Contest, a delectable Thanksgiving Dinner, an enormous Christmas Party with Santa and gifts, and a Fall Festival with games, prizes, and jambalaya. Between those wonderful occasions we schedule outings such as the Zoo and Casino as well.
